That's all down here at sea level. I need something that will handle the
mountains. Of course, that 420 ft/lbs. could just be what I'm looking for
even with the power loss at altitude!
>Add in a few mods.. like they do to the bigger motors.. and I'm sure it'd
pull just fine.
I have a contact who feels he can get 250 HP and the associated TQ increase
with very little work. It's just a matter of making it work in a street
vehicle.

I'd like to see you make that same claim pulling my 26' travel trailer
through a mountain pass at 10,000 ft :-)
